The Unsound Convictions of Judge Stephen Mentall

Stephen P. Smith

3.6/5 ( ratings)

The Unsound Convictions of Judge Stephen Mentall is an irreverent, high-paced, anarchistic romp, covering contemporary topics such as the sexual shenanigans of once untouchable establishment figures, police force mergers, poor quality care homes and struggles the establishment has in keeping pace with political correctness.

Stephen Mentall, a High-Court judge whose convictions about the world are as unsound as some of the cases over which he has presided, finds himself the victim of a botched kidnapping. As a result, he is locked-up and seemingly forgotten in a seedy care home for the elderly by kidnappers pretending to be his concerned offspring.

His protestations that he’s actually a crown court judge and not senile prove as futile as his attempts to escape. Meanwhile, the three Chief Constables charged with finding him spend more time bickering with each other than they do investigating his disappearance. Only a chance piece of evidence reveals his whereabouts.

His freedom is short-lived, however, when the crimes he has committed and those he hasn’t soon catch up with him. As his own trial looms, will Judge Mentall also become the victim of an unsound conviction?
